Self-mutilation is the deliberate direct injuring of body tissue, often done without suicidal intention. Genital self-mutilation is a very rare event and self-harm of the penis, especially in the genital system is exceedingly rare. Generally, this kind of behavior is related to psychotic disorders but can sometimes be seen in non-psychotic people due to bizarre autoerotic acts, a desire for to change sex or religious beliefs that view sexual intercourse as a sin. Our case was the reported genital self-mutilation as a result of the bizarre sexual arousal of a young man who is employed as an architect.

Mentions:
At first, we thought that irreversible pathologic changes had already occurred to the penis (Fig. 1) but, after cutting the bottle off of the penis, regular color and rigidity returned after five minutes. The penis was wrapped by Coban Bandage and after 2 hours the color of the penis was normal but a little oedema persisted in the glandular area (Fig. 2). At the end of the week, the penis was functioning almost normally and normal color had returned (Fig. 3).
